Eviction

'This is our home': Samoa court issues eviction order for Sogi families

The Samoa Lands Corporation has been trying to move families to new settlements at Tafaigata and Falelauniu for years.

Several families have already left but the 20 members of the Tokuma family are still occupying part of the disputed land.

The order was issued last Friday but as of yesterday there are still people on the land living behind the Tanoa Tusitala hotel and the government complex in Sogi.

The families have also been ordered not to interfere with government works and other activities on the lot.
